66cc Kroon

[harry76]

Hi all... this is my 66cc vintage Kroon bicycle. I am still waiting on the aluminium tank i made to be tig welded. I will paint it it and it fits in frame which should help with the vintage look. There are still plenty of things i wish to do before i consider it finished.... but for now im having fun getting around on it....

Clean bike. I really like the headlight. What is it off of?

Hey Cobrafreak, love your indian. I have one myself i am building....... the headlight is an old bicycle gas light i got off ebay. I have an led (gotta get a bigger one) light inside with switch on top and batteries in the bottom.

More pics of the headlight. Just need to paint the switch and washer on top gold. The air cleaner is off a stationary engine carb i bought and modified.

Here is another headlight i have i may use in the future. Also here is the sticker i have for the tank i have. I wanted gold writing on a black tank. Well i ended up with black, so i will paint the tank black with a gold side section with the black stickers.

With your soon to be installed vintage tank it is going to be quite a looker!

I cant wait either. A brothers friend is tig welding it for me. But he has had it for over a month :x , im giving him another week and if it isnt done ill find someone else.

what engine kit is that? I'm looking to buy one.... was it a hard install?

 

[harry76]

I cant recall what brand. Starfire or something if my memory serves correctly. And if you are mechanically minded they are easy to fit. Very easy in fact. A couple hours work if that

Ive done a bit of riding on this thing. The 66cc is starting to sound a little tired, so ive partly pulled this apart for a freshen up. I will also improve a few things, im going to freshen the motor, paint the barrell black, older style pedals and a few other touches. Im still waiting on my inframe alloy tank to be welded up (yawn). My brother said he has welded it, my brother just needs to pick it up. Wish i had just made it out of steel and welded it myself.

I just got this taillight off Ebay, its a little big, but i still like it

I don't think the taillight is too big.. Looks awesome 8)
